To allow easy configuration of the SSP-200/300, an Windows 95/98/ME "INF" configuration file has been written for the hardware. It supports the AUXIN/AUXOUT options and the RS-422/485 output driver enable options for full and half duplex operation.

3.1Installing a SSP-200/300 Under Windows 95/98/ME

1.Insert the SSP-200/300 into any available PC Card socket.

2.The first time a new PC Card type is installed the New Hardware Found window opens. After this first installation Windows 95/98/ME will automatically detect and configure the card. If the New Hardware Found window does not open, then skip to the next section, “SSP-200/300 Resource Settings".

3.The New Hardware Found window provides several options to configure the SSP-200/300 card. Click the "Search for the best driver for your device" option button. Click "NEXT" to continue.
